About our College
Our College opened on 29 January 2013 with Years 7 and 8.
The College is located on Dixon Drive, Pimpama. To ensure the College can cater for students within the enrolment boundary, an Enrolment Management Plan (EMP) is in place.
Our approach to learning
Our primary focus is on personalising the learning experience for each child. This means focusing on the relationship between teachers and students, using technology to engage and enrich learning, and making innovative use of our learning spaces.
To achieve this approach to learning, we have the following 5 goals:
- High expectations and early intervention so that every child can achieve their goals.
- A belief that every child can learn and that learning will be tailored to their individual level.
- Our teachers are learners. They are able to articulate what they do, why they do it and how effective it is.
- Teachers develop a deep understanding of each student's learning needs and preferences and adapt teaching, learning and assessment to maximise individual potential for success.
- The use of technology will enrich and personalise learning experiences for students, make learning accessible 24/7, and develop contemporary learning and communication skills.
While being innovative and creating a contemporary learning environment are important, there are many traditional values that cannot be overlooked in ensuring our learning environment is supportive and positive and nurtures the aspirations of all students, regardless of background and culture.
How we support students
We invest in our young people by:
- providing a positive school culture and ensuring a safe, supportive learning environment for all students
- having high expectations for learning, participation, dress and behaviour, and implementing a Junior Secondary Program
- encouraging high levels of family and community participation in supporting student learning and strategic decision-making
- providing global citizenship and leadership programs for Years 7–10.
